NVIDIA would have already released D9E if AMD's latest offerings were any real competition, as it is now they are considering delaying them. When they do get released in Februrary or soon after the price of 8800 cards will drop significantly and this is important to value shoppers.
Ok you were basing your argument mostly on the cost/performance ratio. When I point out to you that your off because your talking about a different card, the 500 price drop is no longer significant? even an eco sli option is wrong according to you, because your out a fur.

I am glad you picked newegg as an example because, if you would have looked a little harder and not picked one of the higher priced 8800gt's as an example you would have seen that you can get 2 8800gt on newegg for 254 $ dollars.
For that matter, the sli pc I am building off newegg from the ground up in January will cost 950 dollars.
3 gig cpu, 2 8800gtcards, 2 gig of ram, case, power, new drives, everything, for less than what you assumed I would pay for cards only. That is value shopping. which is why the wife got a new laptop (before my new pc) - not a fur.

The fact is, that right now, as was posted here at the beginning of this discussion the 8800gt is widely recommend as the best buy for cost/performance. by pairing them you get a pc that will preform close to one of greater cost, and your pc will be a viable gaming solution for a longer period of time.

now I see, since I don't agree, I'm a stupid geek who cant talk to the ladies.
I should just say “yes dear ill get a shit pc and buy you a fur coat”. Ill pass on any Venus and Mars advice from you.

off topic
Single guys. A good woman is a great thing. Your partner (that means equal)can often provide you with a second glance on many things from a different perspective. Choose wisely.
Ill call this;
The old happily married fathers list of things to look out for.

1.sprinkling all topic's with innuendos of boy vs girl is always a bad sign.

translation;
you want a new PC she says buy a her a fur coat. both are luxury items, but her desire to flaunt her furs is much more important than what you want. Even when you show how you are saving money and did your homework your still wrong.
Run away.

your welcome to have an opinion, but hers is the only sensible one.

The rest you will have to figure out for yourself. I was just saying myself I would love a fur coat.
Have a Great Day!
boys are stupid. Do as your told and be rewarded with sex. (because thats all boys think about right?) if you don't, your locked out. ...................until you get her a fur coat.
